Karpal is unhappy with Anwar over two issues - one concerning a legal suit against the Perak Sultan and the second over whether it was moral for the party to accept defectors
By SK English Team
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said the Pakatan Rakyat was strong and not on the point of breaking up as insinuated by certain quarters following the latest outburst from Karpal Singh, chairman of coalition partner DAP.
Karpal had earlier called on Anwar to resign as Pakatan head to take responsibility for the crisis in the Perak state government.
“I spoke to Kit Siang and he assured me it was Karpal’s personal opinion,” he said referring to DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang.
Anwar said Karpal was unhappy with him over two issues - one concerning a legal suit against the Perak Sultan and the second over whether it was moral for the coalition to accept defectors.
“What he said was his personal opinion. I did not bribe or threaten people to join us. Our opinions also differ on the suit against the Sultan. We do not want to create the impression that we are against the institution of the Sultan,” said Anwar.
The opposition icon played down the differences of opinion in Pakatan, saying despite healthy dissent, there was good cooperation among the three members, KeADILan, DAP and PAS.
“It is not a problem to meet with Karpal if there is an opportunity,” said Anwar.
